Click here to watch the video about 'How to Survive a Family Christmas' on the excellent video website videojug.com. You can find all sorts of videos about Christmas on this website by clicking here. And if you particularly want to know how to make Christmas mince pies, click here. Remember 'mincemeat' does not have any meat in it! Of course, you'll have to make it yourself unless you go to one of the English supermarkets down south in Puerto Rico or el Tablero where they sell it.

If you want to find out a bit more about how Christmas is celebrated in the UK, then click here to do a webquest on a fantastic primary school website which tells you all you need to know and more! Feel free to surf the website - it's amazing and you can spend hours following up all its links. Click here to read the first of many pages about a British Christmas. If you want an idea of what Christmas cracker jokes are like, click here.

And finally, if you're in the mood for some singing, then here's the karaoke video to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town.' Just remember that you have neighbours and close the windows before you hit the first note!

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY YEAR! Why happy? Because the English lessons start again! Remember the half year proficiency test starts on the week of January 18th!!! See you on the 11th or 12th.
